Jon Gosselin didn't leave his job to be a stay-at-home dad, as he claimed on the season premiere of "Jon & Kate Plus Eight." Us Weekly tracked down Gosselin's old boss, David Rothermel, who says Jon Gosselin was fired for misuing company resources. Us magazine says Jon and Kate Gosselin concocted a story that Jon left the company because it wouldn't insure the sextuplets.

Rothermel also claims that Kate Gosselin kept her husband on a $5 a day allowance, and that once during her pregnancy, she stormed into the office -- bed rest be damned -- and yelled at Jon because his father failed to deliver her lunch.

Unsurprisingly, the season premiere raked in the ratings, with 9.8 viewers, more than double the number who tuned in to the season four finale in March, Entertainment Weekly reports.
